King John of England collected numerous taxes primarily to finance his military campaigns and maintain his royal authority, especially during conflicts like the Anglo-French Wars. His attempts to reclaim lost territories in France and his ongoing struggles against rebellious barons strained the royal treasury. Additionally, his unpopular rule and the need to assert control led him to impose heavy levies, which ultimately contributed to discontent and the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215.

How did knights pay tax?

1. Knights were nobles and in many cases they did not pay taxation at all. 2. When Knight's did pay taxes it was usually to the local Barron. The Barrons were expected to present the King with a percentage of the taxes that they collected from the Peasantry. However the Barrons cold also collect taxes from the Knights whose estates were in the province that they governed. eg. Sir.George's estate is in Yorkshire (the province of York). The Barron of York then taxes George in addition to the peasants to make his quota to then send to the King. 3. In the event that the Monarchy demanded tax from the Knights, the Knights would payed the tax directly to the King and not through a Barron.

In many books in recent years, the info and discussions show that king john was a good leader in war, good at improvisation, good at thinking and good strategic.
